We reserve the right to update and change the Terms from time to time without notice. Any amendments, modifications, enhancements or changes to the Program including the release of new features and resources made available by us from time to time shall be subject to these Terms. Continued use of the Program after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.
Any violation of these Terms may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to be an Affiliate and forfeiture of any outstanding affiliate referral fee payments earned during the violation.
Account Registration & Terms
You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the sign-up process for an Affiliate account (“account”).
You must be 18 years of age or older to join this Program.
Each account is for use by either a single legal entity (e.g. a company or a partnership) or an individual user. We do not permit you to share your username and password with any other person nor with multiple users on a network. Responsibility for the security of any usernames and passwords issued (including those of any Invitees) rests with you.
You may not use the Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Program, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
Referral Links & Promotion
Once you have signed up for the Program you will be provided with a URL link that must be used to identify you when placing a link from your site, email or other communications to the Pest Free USA website. It is your responsibility to ensure each such link is correctly formatted.
We may also provide graphical images that can be used within the links to promote Pest Free USA and PLUG IN Pest Free (the “Products”). You may not modify these images in any way. We reserve the right to change the images at any time without notice.
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site.
You may not use our name or graphics in any bulk email whatsoever unless we have given our advanced written consent. We may terminate the Agreement if any meaningful spam complaints naming us or our services result from your marketing activities.
You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our Services, say you are part of Pest FreeUSA or express or imply any relationship between us and you or any other person or entity, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
Referral Fees
For a purchase of “Products” offered for sale by Pest Free USA to be eligible for a referral fee, the customer must click-through a link from your site, email, or other communications to the Pest Free USA website and make their purchase within 30 days of the click-through. If they fail to make a purchase within those 30 days and later return to the Pest Free USA website without following your link, you will not earn a referral fee.
Successful referral purchases made are only eligible for a referral fee after the customer has surpassed their 60 day money back guarantee period. For this reason, referral fee payouts may be made to your PayPal account quarterly.
We will only pay referral fees on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. For our systems to track the referral, the visitor must have cookies enabled. We will not pay referral fees if someone says they signed up through you, but it was not tracked by our system.
Referral fees are calculated on the final check-out price paid by the customer for “Products” only. If the customer has applied a promotional discount offer, the referral fee is calculated on the final check-out price paid by the customer after the discount has been applied to the “Products”. Shipping charges and other associated costs that are not “Product” related are not calculated towards the referral fee. Non-related “Product” costs do not constitute as part of the referral fee.
Our referral fees are on a tiered basis. “You” will earn a total of 5% for the first 50 successful referrals excluding non-related “Product” costs as just mentioned above. After 50 successful referrals, “You” will then earn a total of 10% for successful referrals excluding non-related “Product” costs as just mentioned above.
Payment
Accrued referral fees are paid via bank transfer to your PayPal account approximately every quarter to ensure your referral as surpassed their 60 day money back guarantee period. If a referral makes a purchase and then returns their purchase within their 60 day money back guarantee period, this will be deemed as an unsuccessful referral and your account will be debited to adjust the referral fee earned.
Payments made by Pest Free USA to “You” through the Affiliate Program are only payable to your PayPal account. If you do not have a valid PayPal account, you will need to create one to receive payments. “We” do not issue payment via check, credit card, cash, gift cards or bank transfers.
Customer payments refunded or payments charged-back due to credit card fraud do not qualify for referral fees. We may delay crediting of referral fees subject to risk analysis considerations and Anti-Money Laundering procedures.
A summary of sign-ups and statement of referral fees is available to the Affiliate by logging into their Affiliate account.
The referral fee structure is subject to change at any time at our discretion.
We reserve the right to disqualify referral fees earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
All fees are exclusive of all taxes, charges, levies, assessments and other fees of any kind imposed on your involvement in this Agreement and shall be the responsibility of, and payable by you.
We reserve the right to check and change commissions based on orders actually paid, the notification e-mail is not understood as a confirmed commission – this is only a notification, and every payment will be verified based on real transactions.
